Chapter 204 Problem During Advancing (Part 1)
The C+ rank turned into energy, and that energy rushed towards his monarch core who greedily absorbed all of it.
After absorbing all the energy from the C+ rank core, he took out the B rank core that he got from the orc earlier.
After taking a deep breath he put the core inside his mouth. Just like before this core also turned into energy, and went toward his monarch core.
Just like last time when he absorbed the B rank core, he felt an uncomfortable feeling spreading all over his body, because of the high amount of energy that the B rank core holds.
He didn't lose focus because of the uncomfortable feeling, and fully focused on the level of his core.
The amount of energy was way larger than the last time. His monarch core continue to absorb the energy and was very close to leveling up.
"Just a little more" Evan muttered after absorbing all the energy.
He used his shadow storage and took out the last B rank core.
His heart was beating loudly as he looked at the B rank core in his hand.
After absorbing this core he was sure his core will advance.
'Will I get any class?'
'What will happen if I don't get any class?'
'What if that bit*h came here while I am advancing?'
'What if I get a class but that can't help me to get away from here?'
Many questions came into his mind when he took out the last core.
He was incredibly nervous, and was trying to calm down his heart which was beating like a drum.
He took a deep breath and pushed back all the useless thoughts to the back of his mind.
'Why the hell I am thinking too much, just absorb it and get over with this' Evan said to himself and put the last core into his mouth.
The core also turned into energy and rushed towards his monarch core.
His core was absorbing the energy at the same pace as before, but for him, it felt like his core was absorbing energy very slowly.
"Almost there" Evan muttered when his core absorbed half of the energy of the B rank core.
Soon his core reached at the peak of D rank, and there was still some energy left.
Even after reaching at the peak of D rank, his monarch core continues to absorb the remaining energy.
Crack... Crack...
Evan seemed to hear the sound of something cracking.
At first, he thought it was just his imagination, and the wall that was stopping his core to reach at C rank was cracking because of the energy, but he soon realized it is not his imagination.
Crack... Crack...
When he focused on the cracking sound his mind went black for a moment, when he noticed the cracking sound was actually coming from his monarch core.
"What the fu_" Evan was stunned when he saw what was happening, but even before he can understand why his core was breaking a terrible pain rose from his chest.
Evan almost screamed out loud feeling the terrible pain. He bit at the sleeve of his shirt and tried his best not to scream.
The pain originated from his heart where his monarch core was located.
He felt like someone was ripping apart his heart.
The small monarch core that was the size of the rice grain was slowly breaking apart.
Cracks continue to appear on his monarch core as it absorbs the energy of the B rank core.
"Auggg" Evan bit at the sleeve of his shirt with even more strength and endured the pain.
The pain was so high that he felt like he will pass out at any moment.
Slowly the solid monarch core started to turn into liquid.
When his core started to turn into liquid the pain he was feeling intensified even more.
"Aruggg" he tried his best not to scream out loud.
When his core started to turn into liquid he felt his heart was also melting along with it.
Soon the small core completely turned into liquid form.
When his core turned into complete liquid, the pain he was feeling was so high that his mind almost blanked out.
Luckily after his core turned into a complete liquid the pain he was feeling did not increase anymore.
Evan did not even dare to breathe properly because he felt intense pain when he tried to breathe.
After a few seconds, his monarch core which turned into liquid once again started to turn solid.
As the liquid of his monarch core started to turn solid once again, the pain Evan was feeling also started to decrease.
But soon Evan noticed something.
When one percent of the liquid once again turned solid, he felt his core was trying to form a connection with something.
He did not understand what was the thing his core was trying to connect, but he can feel as the core turn into solid the connection was growing stronger.
At first, he did not find any problem with this and just continue to sit there feeling relieved that the pain in his heart was decreasing.
But when five percent of the liquid turned solid, and the connection grew even stronger he started to feel a little uncomfortable.
Ten percent.
When ten percent of the liquid turned solid, and the connection grew even stronger the uncomfortable feeling turned into strange pressure.
It was the pressure that came from the very depth of his body.
He did not feel uncomfortable physically, but for some reason, he was feeling a strange pressure which was giving him a very bad feeling.
When twelve percent of the liquid turned solid, along with pressure he started to feel pain all over his body.
Evan did not understand what was happening, or what was the pressure and the pain he was feeling.
"Arghhh" but the pain he was feeling soon started to increase along with the pressure.
But when fifteen percent of the liquid turn solid, and he felt his very existence was being ripped apart, Evan finally understood what was happening.
The connection his monarch core was forming was placing great pressure on his soul.
He did not understand why this connection was placing a burden on his soul, but he was sure about one thing.
His soul is very weak and can't handle the pressure of the connection, and if he doesn't do anything and things continue to proceed like this his soul will shatter because of the pressure.
